m), or a ruler-like marker having a similar line spacing.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an index marker that can beautifully and easily determine a position where a printed or handwritten index of a paper sheet (binder paper) is to be attached.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, to paste an index as a heading for each appropriate item in documents such as accounting books, product descriptions or reports, a commercially available glued index is attached at an appropriate position on the side edge of the paper sheet to be pasted In addition, it was pasted with the position of another index shifted at an appropriate interval. As a result, the resulting aesthetics (equal spacing) tended to vary depending on the worker.

[0003] Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 01-7576 describes an index sticking tool in which a plurality of concave portions corresponding to the shape of an index are provided at one end of a long side. Although this technology can be used to efficiently apply indexes at regular intervals, if you try to apply indexes of different sizes, if the attaching tool has a recess corresponding to a large size, When attaching small-sized indices, there is a drawback that the interval becomes too wide, and to cover the drawback, it was necessary to prepare tools with different concave shapes for each size.

Further, recently, the index has become a tack paper type, and if the position of the index on the paper sheet is determined, the index can be easily attached without using the attaching tool. In addition, products with accounting markings printed in advance on the side edges of their accounting books have also been provided.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 According to the present invention, when an index is attached to a document such as an accounting book printed by a computer printer, the index can be easily positioned (equally spaced), and marking can be performed beautifully and efficiently. To provide an index marker.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The above-mentioned problem was solved by using a template or a pencil with a pencil or mechanical pencil, using a template type marker having a plurality of equally spaced cutout grooves corresponding to different vertical dimensions of a commercially available index, or a ruler type marker having equally spaced lines. We found that this could be solved by marking the position mark of the box on the end of the sheet.

When the number of paper sheets is large, a plurality of equally-spaced cut-out grooves corresponding to different vertical sizes of commercially available indices are provided, and the width of the grooves is such that a lead of a pencil or a sharp pencil can be just inserted. Using a template-type marker that is wide, the sheet can be placed diagonally offset and marked along the groove with a pencil or sharp pencil.

When the number of sheets is small, a ruler-type marker on which a plurality of equally-spaced lines are printed or engraved according to different vertical sizes of a commercially available index is placed on the sheet obliquely shifted. A mark can be added to the target paper sheet part with a pencil, a pencil or a pencil, by extending the line at equal intervals.

The dimensions of the template type marker according to the present invention range from two side dimensions which are several mm larger than the standard size of the paper sheet, for example, A4 or B4, and up to 50 mm or more and the same dimension as the short side direction. A rectangular sheet having other two dimensions is desirable from the viewpoint of ease of handling and marking, but is not particularly limited.

The material is desirably a synthetic resin or metal. The thickness is preferably in the range of 0.1 mm to 3 mm from the viewpoint of ease of handling. When the material is metal, the thickness is preferably in the range of 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm. In this case, it is desirable that the sheet has a thickness in the range of 0.5 mm to 3 mm and has transparency or translucency because the state of the paper sheet located below can be clearly understood.

The grooves occupy most of the index size on the market, and are located at different intervals in the short direction of the template type marker at intervals according to the vertical size of three sizes, large, medium, and small. Alternatively, the template may be created in a range that does not reach the end of the template (Fig. 1), or may be cut out to the end of each template at an interval corresponding to only one specific size or two sizes (Fig. 2). ) Or a combination of them.

It is desirable that the interval distance is equal to or longer than the vertical dimension of a different size of a commercially available index by 1 to 3 mm, and that the groove width is in the range of 0.3 mm to 2 mm. It is desirable because it is easy to insert the tip of a pencil or mechanical pencil.

It is desirable to print or engrave a serial number in the vicinity of each groove, or to print and display an auxiliary line of the center line of the groove to each end, and in some cases, the opposite side of the groove. May be combined with those displayed with equally spaced lines.

In addition, engravings for drawing figures, numbers, characters, etc., which are the original functions of the template, may be provided in the margins of the template type marker of the present invention (4 in FIG. 1).

The size of the ruler type marker of the present invention has two sides which are equal to or longer than the longitudinal direction of the standard size of a paper sheet such as A4 or B4, and its width is a rectangle ranging from 3 cm to 6 cm. Is desirable for ease of handling, but is not particularly limited.

The material is desirably a synthetic resin, and its thickness is desirably in the range of 1 mm to 4 mm. Further, it is desirable to have transparency or translucency.

The equal spacing lines to be printed or engraved are created in the width direction, but both long sides may be equal spacing lines corresponding to indexes of different sizes, and one side may be marked as a regular ruler. (FIG. 4). Printing may be performed by changing the color of the equally-spaced lines according to the corresponding index size, and in some cases, grooves may be cut out instead of the lines (FIG. 3).

[0018]

EXAMPLE 1 A transparent methyl methacrylate sheet having a thickness of 1.5 mm was cut into a length of 300 mm and a width of 95 mm. A commercially available index (tack index manufactured by KOKUYO Co., Ltd.) is cut out by a NC engraving machine with 25 mm equally spaced grooves corresponding to the medium size (longitudinal dimension: 23 mm) with a groove width of 1 mm and a length of 75 mm from one end. Was. Engraving of 20mm equidistant lines corresponding to the small size (longitudinal size 18mm) and 29mm equidistant lines corresponding to the large size (longitudinal size 27mm) from the end of the opposite long side is 5mm and 9mm respectively. Carved in with the.

The engraved lines and the corresponding serial numbers were printed in black by silk screen printing. Thus, a template type index marker as shown in FIG. 2 was obtained.

Approximately 80 sheets of printed A4 paper sheets were aligned and squeezed to shift the side edges of each paper sheet diagonally by a few mm. The template type index marker was placed on the shifted inclined portion, and an appropriate position several mm from the upper side of the sheet was marked as a marking start groove on a side end of each sheet along a groove with a mechanical pencil.

Next, marks were sequentially formed along the second and subsequent grooves as shown in FIG. When the number of indices to be affixed was required to be equal to or greater than the number of grooves, the line of the mark was written wider, and if the number was less than the number of grooves, the marking line was shifted to the right toward the bottom.

The operation of attaching an index to the sheet at the required position marked in this way and attaching the next index to the sheet at the corresponding next mark position was repeated. After the indexing operation was completed, the extra marks were erased with an eraser.

[0023]

EXAMPLE 2 A transparent 3 mm thick methyl methacrylate plate was cut into a length of 300 mm and a width of 45 mm. As in the case of Example 1, a silk screen printing is performed on one long side of a line of 15 mm length at 25 mm intervals, and on the other long side, lines of 5 mm length at 20 mm intervals and 9 mm length at 29 mm intervals in black at equal intervals. did. Thus, a ruler type index marker as shown in FIG. 4 was obtained.

Approximately 20 printed operation manuals composed of A4 paper sheets were aligned and squeezed, and the side edges of each paper sheet were shifted obliquely so as to be shifted by a few mm. Place the ruler type index marker on the upper sheet side on the shifted inclined part, and mark it at equal intervals on the side edge of each sheet with a pencil or a pencil on the extension of the position indicated by the marker ( (Fig. 6).

In the same manner as in Example 1, an index was affixed to a sheet at a required position marked. Extra marks remaining after the end of the sticking operation were erased with an eraser.

[0026]

[Effects of the Invention] In both the first embodiment and the second embodiment, in the documents to which the completed indexes were attached, the indexes were arranged at equal intervals, and the aesthetics were sufficient. In addition, the work time was shorter and more efficient than when the index was attached without using the index marker of the present invention. In particular, it is effective when attaching an index to a large number of paper sheets, and even when attaching an index of a different size, the mark can be easily formed.
